Trade Practices is an immersive site-specific experience that examines the notion of “value” against the backdrop of the booms and busts of the past decade. A fictional currency company’s evolution from family business to publicly traded corporation is told through original texts presented simultaneously in competing episodes. The audience doesn’t just watch: they become actors on an economic stage, exploring how we decide what something is worth and what we value.
